Default RE: experimental? heli ID - anyone know this?

yes, exactly what I did once I knew the name! Thanks for the responses, I'd heard of it but wasn't aware of the pusher propeller.

Now I'm really curious about how it dealt with retreating blade stall at it's top speed....

Apache Never exceed speed: 197 knots (227 mph, 365 km/h) (according to Wikipedia)
AH-56_Cheyenne in a dive achieved 245 knots (282 mph, 454 km/h) and demonstrated improved maneuverability at high speeds. (according to Wikipedia)
According to the video, a top speed of 240MPH

Fast heli's get pretty funky with their flight handling....
